Here we go again - I'm hatching more goslings!!

[CelticOaksFarm]

What a cutie! Not an African, the beak where it meets the head curves down towards the tip, not diamonds up. Will be interesting to see what it grows into.

Congrats, Julie!!! Precious baby!!! From what I can see in the pic, the beak looks nothing like an african.

I think i'm leaning towards canada, or canada/touslouse mix at this point. Kind of hoping for the latter, just because it would be really interesting to see as it grows.

Again, hard to say from the pics... but it doesn't look to have a toulouse beak either. It could be a toulouse cross though.

1-2 drops.... more if the gosling is not doing well.

Thanks Paulla setting up brooder and the first one doesnt have the energy we normaly see with embdens

Here are pictures of Canada geese showing the beaks clearly. Notice how they scoop downwards, almost a crescent shape where the bill meets the head.

African goslings - notice the diamond/triangular up point in the middle where the beak meets the head

And Toulouse. Notice the straight across beak where it meets the head

For what it is worth, this is what I would do. Take 6oz glass of water and add 1 drop polyvisol and a dash of sugar. Offer the water mix to the weak one using a soup spoon every 1-2 hours.
